Default AC Problem..Stopped Working completely!

It seems as if everyone is having ac problems..well mine was blowing low even when on high for some time now..but today there was a really weird noise like something flapping around in there really bad then and it stopped completely no air from anywhere..but it sounds as if the blower is still comming on.

What could be the problem? thanks

Start the car with the AC on, and check under the hood. Do the condenser lines near the passenger strut tower get cold or moist? Is the compressor cycling on and off, is the belt ok?

thanks willwren,

The lines are cold and the compressor and belt seem to work fine.

Everything seems to come on except no air at all.

When it started flapping I could kinda feel it in the gas pedals.

Also as i think about it..when I had my ac on High..there was a small humm almost like something wanting to flap but couldn't so I kinda kept it off high.

today it just totally freaked out.

Glad you found it. That'* what I was suspecting, but wanted to verify compressor/condenser operation first. When you install the new one, torque the bolts lightly, and in a variable pattern. Your current motor came from the wrecker, and could have been stressed in an accident, from heat in the yard, or from the removal of the engine. No telling.

Just take the replacment nice and easy. You should be fine.
